We were introduced to Manos through our taxi driver that picked us up at Athens airport. We only had one full day in Athens before boarding a cruise. Manos picked us up at noon and for six hours gave us a wonderful tour of Athens! He was extremely knowledgeable and shared with us ancient as well as the modern history of Athens and Greece. He took us to lookout spots where we had incredible views of the City. We enjoyed a most wonderful day. Thank you Manos! 10/10.
Mr. DAVID, we really had a great day.! thank you for your generous review
This was our second day with Manos and he showed us a whole new side of Athens. We left the city center behind to explore the beautiful coast, the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center, and ended the day with a breathtaking sunset at the Temple of Poseidon. The tour proved there is so much more to Athens than just downtown. It is very obvious Manos takes great pride in showing the entire city of Athens and I would highly recommend this tour with him to see other parts of the city.
Manos delivered a great day. Very knowledgeable guide and good driver. He looked after us and was punctual. I would thoroughly recommend him!
Our private tour was exceptional mainly because of our driver, Emanuel better known to us as Manos. You really can see Athens in a day. We were able to see the marinas, rivieras, museum, the parthenon, the beautiful free library, and so much more we had a special trip to a church, which was the customizable part of our tour. This was an awesome private tour of Athens and the Riviera!
Best tour ever, our driver-Emanuel(Manos) what exceptional! He made us feel right at home. He introduced himself right away and customize our tour to meet our needs. We really felt like we saw historical cultural Athens in one day, from the beautiful, marinas piers, Riviera, Acropolis, museums, and church -the finale was a dinner reference outlooking the pier that was just breathtaking This by far was the best tour ever.
The tour included so many interesting optional stops that you could choose to stay as long as you wanted (finishing within your tour time of course...) There's really something for everyone. I think the best part of the tour for me was George's stop on Lykavittos Hill for a 35-minute lecture on the history of Athens. He was really on point and as a history buff myself, it was very fascinating. I highly recommend this tour!
Manos was absolutely a fountain of knowledge about Athens mythology and history of Greece. We were able to cover a lot of Athens in tour with special stops not on the average Viator tour - so cool to go up a funicular to see Athens from a different point of view than the Acropolis - he was so wonderful we booked transfer to airport - Manos picked us up T hotel and really tailored the trip and times to our convenience -
